The St. John Ambulance Brigade has a long established history in Ireland. It began in Dublin in 1903 and later in Cork in 1934. It is a voluntary and charitable organisation where its members give freely of their time, training the community in First Aid and providing medical cover for most major events such as GAA, Rugby, Racing and major public gatherings.

The St John Ambulance in Cork has grown from strength to strength where the membership is now over 160 members. We now have an established division in the Glanmire area.

The St. John Ambulance Brigade has a long established history in Ireland. It began in Dublin in 1903 and later in Cork in 1934. It is a voluntary and charitable organisation where its members give freely of their time, training the community in First Aid and providing medical cover for most major events such as GAA, Rugby, Racing and major public gatherings.

The St John Ambulance Brigade in Cork has grown from strength to strength where the membership is now over 160 members. We now have an established division in the Glanmire area. This type of expansion has always been key to the success of the organisation. Due to demand we will be running a new Basic First Aid course in February 2013.

Over the last number of months, they have gone out on their first public duty within the community, and have trained on a weekly basis to keep their skills current and further their skillset. Eventually they will use the stepping stones approach to increase their skills through the levels of Cardiac First Responder, Emergency First Responder (EFR), and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Since the establishment of this new Division in Glanmire, we have received numerous requests to run another First Aid Course. To support this request, we will run a Basic First Aid course in the Glanmire Community College on Monday nights, starting on 11th February 2013. It will run for seven weeks beginning at 6.45pm for approximately two hours. The cost of the course is €100, which includes a student pack and First Aid manual.
